design & aesthetic: high-gloss
'plateel' model 124 is a classic low-profile form, often referred to as a "bulb bowl" or "jardinière." this specimen features the factory's celebrated high-gloss finish, which predates the later matte-glaze era. The vibrant, hand-painted floral décor showcases the rich cobalt blues and deep earthy tones that define the early dutch art nouveau period.

condition & luster:
the condition of this specific piece is exceptional. While high-gloss pzh pieces are often found with surface wear or dullness, this bowl retains a perfect, mirror-like luster. The glaze remains crisp and highly reflective, suggesting it has been a cabinet-kept piece for over a century.
